 GetEQUAL Launches `ENDA Summer` Campaign, Pressuring Congress to Keep 2010 Vote Promise
Grassroots Campaign Will Target Representatives and Senators in Key States
GetEQUAL -- a national, direct action lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender (LGBT) civil rights organization -- announced the launch of
its grassroots "ENDA Summer" campaign. The campaign, designed
to target Representatives and Senators from several key states, will
focus on "pull[ing] out all the stops to get ENDA passed in 2010." The
2010 target date for passage comes from repeated promises by Democratic
House and Senate leadership that a vote on ENDA would be scheduled this
year. Recently, GetEQUAL released a timeline showing decades of broken
promises and excuses from elected officials that have led to the
stalling of any federal protections being in place for LGBT workers. The
timeline can be viewed in its entirety at: www.getequal.org/endatimeline.
